Headphones and your Personal Health
Headphones are a cultural norm - no matter where you are, people utilizing them while exercising, commuting, studying or working.
Advances in technology have increased battery life and storage capacity resulting in users listening with headphones at loud decibels for prolonged periods of time. Headphone users' listening habits have audiologists alarmed. Younger people are exhibiting hearing loss normally found in older adults.
Prevention is essential to protecting your hearing. Below are five tips that can potentially reduce hearing loss:
- Decrease the volume.
- Utilize the volume limiter on your portable device (if applicable).
- Take five - give your ears a time out frequently.
- Never use your headphones to drown out background noise such as subway or city traffic.
- Invest in sound-isolating or noise-canceling headphones.

Full-size headphones
Full-size headphones are the largest variety of headphone. The tech-speak description for this type of headphone is circumaural—it includes any 'phones with ear cups that fully enclose your ears. Because of their size and their acoustic isolation, full-size headphones are often considered to be better suited to home use rather than as a portable option. On the plus side, large 'phones offer potential for maximum bass and loudness levels, and they effectively block outside noise. However, the large size is cumbersome for portable use, and some full-size models can be uncomfortably hot and make your ears sweat. They're not the best choice for wearers of earrings, glasses, or hats.
